In 2018, Thomas Perez contacted the police in Fontana, California, worried about his missing father. Instead of receiving help, he endured 17 hours of interrogation, where officers falsely claimed his father was dead and pressured him into confessing to a murder he didn’t commit. Police even threatened to euthanize his dog, adding emotional distress to the ordeal.
After confessing under immense psychological pressure, Perez was placed on a psychiatric hold—only to later discover that his father was alive and traveling through LAX. This tragic story, which led to a $900,000 settlement, underscores the dangers of coercive police tactics and the importance of reforming interrogation practices.

In this clip from The See You In Court Podcast, family law expert Gillian Onan discusses why the vast majority of divorce cases never go to a final trial. While some people believe they want their "day in court" when saying goodbye to a marriage, the reality is that 95-96% of divorce cases settle before reaching a trial. Many of these cases are resolved through settlement negotiations or temporary hearings.
Considerations:
Most divorces settle before trial: The vast majority of divorce cases are resolved outside of court through settlements or hearings.The reality of divorce litigation: Couples may have multiple temporary hearings before a settlement is reached, but very few cases go all the way to a final trial.Courtroom battles are rare: Though some may desire their "day in court," the emotional and financial strain of a trial often leads to settlements beforehand.🎧 Tune in to hear more and 👉 Listen to the full episode for more in-depth insights about divorce and family law from Robert Wellon and Gillian Onan: https://seeyouincourt.podbean.com/e/divorce-and-family-law-gillian-onan-and-robert-wellon/

Today on the podcast, Robin and Lester interview Judge Alvin Wong, Georgia’s first Asian American judge.
Guest Bio
Judge Wong came to Richmond, Va. from Hong Kong when he was 14. His father
enrolled him at Fishburne Military Academy in Waynesboro, Va., shook his hand
and said he’d “see him next summer.” He followed a classmate from Fishburne to
Auburn University without even knowing where it was. He graduated early and
moved to Atlanta. He started taking night classes at John Marshal Law School and
passed the Georgia Bar in 1976. He hung out a shingle and worked as a trial lawyer
and then was a partner at Gambrell & Stolz (now Baker Donelson) for 20 years.
Judge Wong was elected to the State Court of DeKalb County in 1999 and since
his election in 1999, he’s been reelected, unopposed, to six consecutive terms. With
his election in 1999, he became the first Asian American judge in Georgia history.
At that time, Asians made up less than two percent of registered voters in DeKalb
County.
In 2004, Judge Wong co-founded a DUI court to help people, calling it one
of the most rewarding things he’s done. He also sits on the board of the Lifeline
Animal Project, a nonprofit that helps turn Atlanta animal shelters into no-kill
shelters. He also brings to the courthouse Coco, a dachshund-chihuahua mix he
rescued a decade ago. Jurors love to meet her after the trial is over.
Judge Wong was elected by his peers in 2021 as president of the Georgia
Council of State Court Judges, overseeing the entire state. His election marked the
first time an Asian American served as president of any judicial council in Georgia.
In 1993, Judge Wong and Professor Natsu Saito of Georgia State University
Law School combed the State Bar Directory to find 10 attorneys to start an Asian
American Bar Association. Today, the Georgia Asian Pacific Bar Association
(GAPABA) has 750 members. In 2014, GAPABA named its top prize the “Judge
Alvin T. Wong Pioneer Award”. It is given in his honor to a lawyer who
demonstrates leadership to pave the way for the advancement of APA attorneys. He
is the recipient of the 2017 Traditions of Excellence Award presented by the
General Practice and Trial Section of the State Bar of Georgia. He received the
2022 Randolph Thrower Lifetime Achievement Award presented by the
Committee to Promote Inclusion in the Profession of the State Bar of Georgia.
Judge Wong serves the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional
Responsibility – Judges Advisory Committee and as a Fernbank Museum of
Natural History trustee and NAPABA (the National Asian Bar) Law Foundation
board member, mentoring future leaders as co-director of its Thomas Tang
National Moot Court Competition.
